Previously, hns3 driver just directly send specific setting bit
and mask bits of MAC VLAN switch parameter to the firmware, it
can not be compatible with the old firmware, because the old one
ignores mask bits and covers all bits with new setting bits.
So when running with old firmware, the communication between PF
and VF will fail after resetting or configuring spoof check, since
they will do the MAC VLAN switch parameter configuration.
This patch fixes this problem by reading switch parameter firstly,
then just modifies the corresponding bit and sends it to firmware.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
